Preferred devices are recommended choices for future use and best overall value. See detailed ordering and shipping information in the package dimensions section on page 7 of this data sheet.

(1) VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, positive gate voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.

Critical Rate of Rise of Off­State Voltage (Rated VDRM, Exponential) *Indicates JEDEC Registered Data. (1) This measurement is made with the case mounted "flat side down" on a heat sink and held in position by means of a metal clamp over the curved surface. (2) RGK 1000 is included in measurement. (3) Forward current applied for 1 ms maximum duration, duty cycle 1%. (4) RGK current is not included in measurement. dv/dt 30 V/µs
